These rumors were recently confirmed by Renault’s Italian department chief, Jaques Bousquet, who confirmed at an event held in Rome that a zero-emission Twingo it’s on the way. Moreover, thanks to a new platform that will fit the new Twingo ZE, a structure available due to a partnership with Daimler, the new electric model bearing Renault’s badge will be ready for production even faster.

A new eco-friendly version of Renault Kangoo will be also ready soon even if the French model already benefits from an electric version. Thus, Renault will develop a new powertrain which won’t use lithium-ion batteries for the new Kangoo but will offer the same optimized performance.

The new Twingo ZE will be the fifth model bearing the zero-emission badge as Renault already has electric versions of Fluence, Twizy, Kangoo and Zoe.
